Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable and perpetual, with no credit card required, but it is capped on the main growth levers: only 5 companies, 2 alerts, 3 highlights, and 15 API requests per minute. Compared with the $10/mo Pro plan, it delivers roughly 40% of the paid plan's practical value, so about $4/month is a fair estimate.
